Food Not Muck

"All I've seen are the commercials, and I'm like, I guess both these guys suck."

This is a comment from a friend of mine. This year an incredible amount of money has been spent on negative advertising during the Presidential campaign. As Campbell Brown wrote in Food banks instead of campaign ads in mid October there's certainly more important things to be spending money on.

Negative advertising really doesn't win any votes either. The WSJ has an article on the subject that I found in Brown's commentary. The article titled Ready, Aim, Backfire: Nasty Political Ads Fall Flat, reports that although McCain has run a higher percentage of negative advertisements he's still not reaching voters.

Good News. Schools turning up. I'm finally starting to see the bigger picture in the work. Rather than tests, professors mention jobs, what I will be expected to understand, and who I am competing with. I try to keep in mind some advice I heard, if you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss, they don't have tenure.

Tomorrow Eoin and some cyclists might come to "Trainer and a Movie." This week I will show Kill Bill on Tuesday and Wonderboys on Thursday while spinning on the trainer for about an hour. My hope is that after all the boring trainer rides facing the sun shining outside my window, I will be hardened up for winter, and ready to brace the weather. As John Delong said, "There is no outside."

Rest Well.
